Holy crap. I'm a Trek fan buy my knowledge isnt any where near the sheer amount of references, one liners and inside jokes these books have.

What does everyone think about this book? I just finished the first one and the only thing I've learned is that Lem Fal is crazy, Barclay's still a dolt, the Calamarain are protecting the Barrier, and Q has obviously locked 0 inside.

That's a lot of padding for a trilogy. Hope things pick up with Book Two.

The Q Continuum Trilogy is three of my favorite Star Trek books ever. I was already a huge Q fan, and this was just a great trilogy. They weren't the first great Q books (that honor would probably go to Q-Squared), but I'd say that they're even better than Q-Squared and I,Q which are two other great ST books. I'm a fan of continuity, although thats not what I think make these books great (although I do like getting an actually interesting context for the "god" in Star Trek V). It was just a great read from beginning to end.

Q-in-law is a really good book, I also like the audiobook of that one a lot. A shame that Q-continuum trilogy never got audiobook versions, even if they would have been abridged versions I would not have minded if John de Lancie would have been the voicing it.

That would've been cool indeed.

As a consolation prize, I did get John de Lancie to autograph a copy of the omnibus edition at Shore Leave a few years back.

And I believe the Q books are still my best-selling Trek books, for which I give full credit to the enormous popularity of Q himself!

Aside from Kirsten Beyer, I think only you and Peter David have written stories with Q. Of course the stories that you (Cox) and David wrote about Q seem to have been written more with the comedic Q from TNG, rather than the "family" Q from Voyager.

I could have sworn I saw audiobooks of The Q-Cotinuum books read by John de Lancie on ITunes sometime. Guess not.
Yep, I just checked and there aren't any. I guess I must have been thinking of one of the other Q books.

It is titillating. Seriously though Greg, the Khan books were loaded with great tie-ins but it never felt overwhelming or over the top. How you kept all of that stuff straight is beyond me. I'm picturing this giant white board with arrows all over the place.
